Henry Luce, master of Time and Life

It was on this day (February 28) in 1967 that Henry Luce, co-founder of Time magazine, launcher of Fortune, re-maker of Life, and longtime potentate of the Time-Life publishing empire, died in Phoenix, Arizona. He was 68. The New York Times summed up Luce's career and personality in this long and mostly flattering obituary.
